    Felt bad for the last couple of years. Got hormone tests done. Any input is help

    By itself it's hard to say. A slightly elevated Bili isn't diagnostic by its self. I'd like to see your Direct Bili, AST/ALT, Alk Phos, INR, and your Bun/Cr to make an assessment. Beyond that an Ultrasound would be the next diagnostic step. I'm not a Doctor however I am a liver, kidney, heart...

    Have you had liver tests actually done? AST, ALT, Total Biliruben and Direct Biliruben? I'm really worried about your liver.

    Thyroid labs thoughts.

    I had my follow up with Melissa Dr Saya's PA. First of all I, as a clinician I was very impressed with her and am confident in her care. There is obviously an auto immune thyroid component. Likley Hashimotos. So we are going to start on NDT 0.5 grain titrating to 1 grain if I tolerate it and...

    Thyroid labs thoughts.

    Hi All. I am in the middle of a Clomid restart and Dr Saya wanted me to run a thyroid panel because on my Pre HRT panel my TSH was elevated. About me. 39 5'11 245 pounds. Active with a fairly healthy diet. All of the low T signs that I'm learning can also be low thyroid. Fatigue, weight...

    Need Advice!

    Along with what everybody above shared I'd discuss a thyroid work up with Defy. Our pituitary glands which stimulate the production of T also stimulate our thyroid. The picture of an overweight male with low T really points to possible thyroid issues as well. Again this is because our Pitutary...

    Thanks guys for the replys. I decided to continue the process with Dr Saya. A large part of me wanted more immediate gratification but this is too important to make decisions like that. So I have an appointment with him on 11/16. On the standby list if anything opens.

    I was curious about the LH as well. BF is around 30%. I had a vasectomy about 4 years ago. Could that have any impact?

    Thank you for the reply. No second thoughts about Defy necessarily. More curious if I can find somebody to look at and manage the TRT, BP, blood sugar, and cholesterol at the same time. A holistic (I usually hate that word) approach to my overell wellness picture.
